How level is your lot?
That's the first question I'll ask to determine how much your garage building cost.
The one factor that effects the cost of a garage more than any other is the ground preparation. You can build the exact same 2 car garage on three different lots and the Garage Cost will be different for each one.
The average Minnesota building permit fee for a 2 car garage will vary depending on the city you live in. For example, in Minneapolis or St Paul the garage building permit fee is only $450.00. If you live in St Louis Park the cost is over $700.00. If you live in Edina or Robbinsdale a full survey with elevations is required which can run well over $1,000.00. Lucky Bloomington MN homeowners only have to pay $50.00 for a garage building permit.
Another factor in the over all garage building cost is how much it will cost to remove your old garage and slab? The average cost to remove a single car garage and slab is around $1,500.00. However, stucco, insulated walls, ceilings, second story garages and asbestos removal is additional.
Garage Building Cost is determined more by ground preperation then anything else.
The 3 pictures below are all 22x22 garage slabs but they have three very different overall cost.The garage cost rule is, the more level the land, the less the garage will cost.
